+Scott, Owner, Winemaker & Vineyard Manager
A local Idaho native, Scott joined the Air Force after high school and is a combat veteran with a 26-year career in the military. Beginning from an amazing assignment in Germany, Scott and Denise have traveled extensively often seeking out local vineyards and wineries. Their affinity to pursue a home complete with the vineyard landscape led them create Sol Invictus Vineyard in Idaho. Through collegiate viticulture and enology studies, along with the support of mentors, Scott has turned a once hobby winemaking operation into a small-scale boutique winery and vineyard. With the tremendous patience and support of his immeasurably talented wife, Scott continues to serve the state of Idaho as a Deputy to the State Controller.
Hobbies: Vineyard management, experimenting with wine grapes, hunting, traveling, being around his kids
Scott can be contacted at scott@solinvictusvineyard.com.

Denise grew up in a small farming town in northern Illinois – population 850! She headed off to the Air Force at 18 and spent 20 years on active duty before retiring. She wasn’t finished serving our country, so she spent another 17 years as a Department of Defense civilian. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development. She met and married her amazing husband Scott in Germany over 30 years ago. They have three incredible adult children, Sarina, Zach, and Jaxon plus two gregarious granddaughters, Ryan and Paige.

Nick, Assistant Wine Maker
Our assistant wine maker, bottling scheduler/crew, and vineyard management. Nick is attending the Washington State viticulture program and has taken the lead to make sure wine production stays on track while Scott has been working long hours with the State. Nick is married to our favorite postal carrier the lovely Miss Lee. They have two rambunctious boys who can usually be found somewhere on property. They also have a grown daughter who works for Scott as a State employee.
Dana, Tasting Room Lead
Retired educator and all-around amazing woman. She has a kind word and easy smile for everyone. Originally from California, we are fortunate to have scooped her up to be on our team. She and her husband Michael have two daughters. Dana comes from a big family and is making it bigger by adopting all of us at Sol Invictus. We just love her!
Mindy, Tasting Room Lead
Our true-blue Seahawks fan! Mindy comes to us from Washington State. She is incredible! She’s a force for all that is good and right with this crazy world today. Not only does she work three jobs, raise two girls with her husband Ian, but she makes time for friends, family, and most importantly her faith. God bless.
Liv, Tasting Room Server & Digital Marketing Manager
Wife, mother, retired law enforcement, and now tasting room staff and digital marketing manager! This strong, independent woman can do it all! She and her husband, Daniel, have two of the cutest little boys you will ever meet. I think Sol Invictus gets all the best peeps that California has to offer. Liv is organized, creative, and driven. She fits in seamlessly with our team and culture.
Chrissy, Tasting Room Server
Chrissy is our down-to-earth, no muss, no fuss gal. She has three great kiddos that she loves to the moon and back. She has a huge heart and a practical mind. She believes in earning a living and not taking a handout but would give you the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it. The best part is Chrissy cares, but she’ll tell you you’re being a dumba$$. Gotta love that kind of honesty.
Lauren, Tasting Room Server
Our Boise State grad! Lauren is pursuing her master’s degree and planning her wedding to her beau, Cylus! This talented young lady can do anything she sets her mind to.
Tara, Seasonal Tasting Room Server
Unfortunately, we don’t get to see Tara as often as we like. She and her husband are raising their two boys, traveling, and staying extremely busy but we can always count on her to help at the big events at the Riverhouse. We hope to open more days per week and have Tara back on a regular basis sharing her beautiful smile and vivacious personality with our guests.
Bottling Crew, Tim & Will
We can’t forget the remaining core members of our Washington travel team and bottling crew! We couldn’t do what we do without Tim and Will . Thankfully, their gracious spouses Cathy Jo and Michelle loan them to us from time-to-time. We are so grateful for the love and support we receive. We’re not sure how we got so lucky but feel like we won the lottery when we moved to Idaho and opened Sol Invictus Vineyard!
